You know it ain't 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.240 like it ain't like the place he asked, and they 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.280 ain't got talent that you can get some guys back 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.840 and return to where you can still be competitive. You'll 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:11.440 be better than what you were last year here. You 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.360 ain't make the player in last year. You trade him 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.000 to San Antonio or Houston. I feel like you can Houston. 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.319 You can get some good comparable pieces to where you 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:22.679 still be in contention. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.280 You can you can at least make the playoffs. 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:29.279 There's all long standards. This we've seen. We've seeing KD. 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.520 We've seen KD at all for I mean since I've 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.080 been in the NBA, I don't know, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.240 years whatever. Right, we've seen him and in places where 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.800 when he's happy, right, and I mean happy like it's 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.920 a great team, it's not a surface running around it. 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:51.440 He plays eve leek basketball right. When he goes to 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.920 places where it's you know and the brook the net 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.160 scenario and you know this and that I'm not saying 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.240 it wasn't the elite ball. I'm just saying like it 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.080 was just a little harder. His teams were not as good, 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:02.400 you know. 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.200 Like, so I think you get Katie, you get him 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:06.120 in that you know, one of. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:06.760 Those Sames seats. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.880 Obviously he went to University of Texas, no state taxes, 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:10.120 you know. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.560 So people love that people. Yeah, and somewhere and somewhere 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:14.000 in tech. 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:19.240 When you can get him. I remember my used to 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.000 house now yeah, I remember the house now. Yeah. 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.359 So like when you get when you as a as 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.280 an athlete, we all know when you get to somewhere 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:28.120 as a fresh start. 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:29.639 You got a lot of young talent. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.200 You gotta you know, you're not beefing with a coach 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.239 like we don't know the dynamic with him in a 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.360 coach like you got something new, You got a coach 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.680 that you believe in your game goes to a nothing 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.480 level automatically, you know. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.680 So I just think that's kind of the situation that 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.920 he was in. It sounds like some things. But you know, 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.760 prom I wouldn't say promised to him, but you know, 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:49.960 as far as how. 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.760 They you don't want to win. And then you know, you. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:56.400 Get the coach who bootingholder, who's not not for everybody, right, 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:57.359 he's not for everybody. 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.120 He does things this particular way, and it works. He's 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.200 won a championship. It works, right, So you can't blame him. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.240 But we see that you know that fit. It just 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.720 didn't work. It just didn't work for Pebbe. If you 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.600 said something very interesting, you say, when there's not a circus. 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.320 KD played his best basketball once he left OKC at 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.120 Golden State because all he got to do was hoop Elsie. 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.880 You go to Brooklyn, they're counting on you, they want 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.760 you to lead even though you want to just hoop, 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:23.880 they want you to lead. 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.919 You go to Phoenix. Now you and Devin Booker should 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.000 have to lead you. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.160 See, you got Clay, you got stepped, you got dramond 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.880 I get to be a back really truly, I can 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.280 lead sing, but I kind of like being in the backup. 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.080 I kind of like doing background vocals. 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.600 Right. So I don't know because now at this point, 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.760 at this point in time, now, guys, everybody that gives 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.000 Kevin Durant, they look at him as a higher gun. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.920 We're bringing you here to get us over the thump. 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.360 That's that's why they're gonna get him. So the expectation 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.800 wherever he goes is gonna be expedition. He goes to Miami, 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.640 Miami is expected to be able to compete for a title. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.720 Now it's being reported Mark Spears says Kevin Durant was 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.080 interested in joining the Knicks as well, but the Knicks 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.120 were not interested in pursuing him. Now, I don't know 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.000 how true it is, but Mark Spear seems to be 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.400 a reputable reporter, and I haven't heard anybody come out 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.880 and said Mark Spear's Mark Spears doesn't know what he's 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.000 talking about. All I could just go by is what's 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:22.920 being reported. 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:23.840 And Mark J. 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.679 Spears says he wanted to go to the Knicks now 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.159 when he had we was a free agent. The Knicks 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.440 really wanted Kevin Durant, but he bypassed them and jumped 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:36.000 over and went to Brooklyn. Now he was at okc 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.960 oh probably okay, said nah, we good. So wherever he's going, 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.599 the pressure is gonna be what he felt when he 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.320 went to Golden State, because they're like, hold on, they 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.440 got stuffed. They guy Clay, They got Draymond that won 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.000 seventy three games the year before. They just lost the 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.760 three to one lead with Kevin Durant. It should be 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:59.480 a breeze and it was, and maybe it became too easily. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.960 Maybe Kevin Rant says, my job is done here. What 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.400 do you think about that? What do you guys think 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:04.760 about that? 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.839 I don't think Phoenix was a good team, if we're 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.039 being totally honest, right, I don't think they were a 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.720 team where they got Kevin Durant and you looked at 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:16.520 their roster. 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.480 And you be like, they didn't need Bradley Bee chapmanship. Yeah, 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.520 I didn't. I don't think there was anyone's thought. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.640 I didn't think anyone thought that once uh Phoenix got Katie, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.240 that they're gonna win the championship. I honestly thought when 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.440 they lost CP, they were gonna go down. 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.680 That's what they should have kept. Said. Yeah, you know 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.080 so like that, that's my mindset, right. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.640 And you obviously you add a player like Bradley Beal, 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:43.400 who's you know, phenomenal talent dealing with injury, but when 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.000 he plays and he's healthy, he plays, well, you got 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.760 this guy on ball defender, you got this gut the 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.800 three points a game, maybe five points one game. I mean, 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.680 they just wasn't getting the best versions of the players 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:57.120 that we're we're accustomed to. 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.760 But you played them out a position. I understand Devin 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.080 Booker can play. He's not a point, he's a two. 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.360 If there are a lot of these guys that are saying, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.479 oh they got the position, they got PG by the name, 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.000 they're two guards masquerading p Bell, Devin Booker is not 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.560 a point. He played his best basketball when CP was there. 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.919 That's the best basketball we see and he got to 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.920 a championship. They should have kept they should have kept 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.760 CP three. I'm not saying you gotta pay him twenty 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.040 five thirty million dollars. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.120 But I'm saying you keep him. You didn't need badly Bill. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.680 If you can't get enough scoring from Kevin Durant and 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:33.720 Devin Booker, well, I don't know what to tell you, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.440 because in the process of getting Bradley, Bill, you give 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:38.320 up all your depth. 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:39.960 The reason these two. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.240 Teams that are in the finals Indiana and in the 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:46.760 OKC what depth, bitch. Yeah, that's how the beat all 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:47.120 the time. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.400 I honestly think if they, I honestly think I'm gonna 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.320 be honest, I think they they dropped the ball when 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:54.479 they got rid of DeAndre a. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.760 We got rid of wo DeAndre Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:00.200 him and Mandy couldn't get on. 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.599 Hey, but now you see, you don't got money or 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:04.679 you don't got there. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:06.920 You know, coaches, coaches are revolving. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.960 Well, you ain't got you ain't got a Bogel, you 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.240 ain't got blutan Holzer, you ain't got money, You on 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:18.600 your you on your fourth coaching for years. Hey, hard 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.520 consistency in continuity when you doing it like that, people, 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:27.600 because that's a whole new sister. He might coach another way. Yeah, 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.720 And they looking for a five man. Now think about that, 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.840 because you think he look, you think you think guys 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.040 are easily replaceable in this league, and they not. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:35.240 Bro they not. 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.400 Look, you give up c P who is a hell 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.760 of an orchestrator, and you know he would have made 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.840 sure Devin Booker and Kevin Durant got their points. 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:44.760 Yes, so I agree with y'all. 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.200 I don't think Bradley Bell was a great fit because 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.600 now you're trying to make sure all three of these 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.920 guys get at least fifteen or twenty shots a night, 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.640 and it just didn't add up to wins. 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.480 And that's easy to guard. That's easy to guard. 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.560 Okay, cool, he goes shoot, he goes shoot seventh sing, 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.320 he goes, he goes shoot twenty two. 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.840 Al Right, cool, got it, Stop one of them, easy 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:04.320 game one. 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.960 Some in the Son's organization believe Bradley Bill will produced 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.960 when KD is gone for Jake Fisher. There's a like 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.960 there is a likewise some hope within the Suns that 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.680 moving Kevin Durant could possibly present Bradley Bell with a 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.640 more offensive opportunity to produce in the matter you expect 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.280 from a player with that sort of contract. As the 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:27.480 Steinline have previously reporter various candidates considering during the Sun's 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.120 recent coaching search, was asked, how would they try to 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.520 get the best out of Bradley Bill if. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:38.400 He remained a son. Hey, he gonna have to. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:39.800 Well, he's gonna have to step up if they get 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.760 rid of Kevin Durant. Brad Bill definitely he got to 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.160 step in that role in p Bell. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:46.480 He gonna have to. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.280 They gonna need at least twenty two to twenty five 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.200 plus from him, a night man in order. 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.199 But I trust that coach. I had that coach. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.400 I had that coach before they got a really good coach, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:57.560 Jordan Odd coach. 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.000 He was an elite coach, and I mean elite. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:06.040 He's uh his IQ on a on a on a Offensively, 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.640 it's so simple but so like at fast and what 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:10.720 he does defensively. 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.440 He's one of the few coaches that can do both. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.920 I had him as a coach, like we talked, like 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:16.920 I got a text message right now from him, you know, 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:18.520 Happy Fathers Father's Day. 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.080 So like coach out. He's a phenomenal coach. Don't sleep 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.240 on him. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.600 But hey, look, I don't know what kind of system 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:25.440 he gonna implement. 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.960 But uh, they need they need Bradley Bell to be 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.600 the guy who they got from the Wizards at twenty six, 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:33.600 twenty seventh Night. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.040 Now, I don't know if. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.000 He can average that, but he a look, they gonna 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.480 need him to be one of them top guns on 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.679 a consistent basis. But he and Bradley he had been 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.720 Devin Booker really the same person. I agree, they're the 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.560 same people. Well be bath they need a center. They 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.280 need a center. When you gave up all those think 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.080 about it. You had just went to the NBA Finals. 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.720 You had DeAndre Ayton, you have McKay up Bridges, you 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.680 had book you had a CP, you had Camda crowd. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.400 Yeah yeah, you had a knife. And you blow that 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.079 all up. You get rid of ating not for whatever reason, 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.679 it seemed like Ayton and and and and and money 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.600 was going back and forth. I don't know, but it 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.920 just seemed like they was always butting heads on the sideline. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.000 Looking at it from the TV, I was not, you know, 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.360 just watching it from a distance, it seemed like they 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.640 was always button head. But you blow it up, and 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.800 you've had three coaches, you about to be on your 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.200 fourth coaching for since they last won a title, and 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.920 you you get Kevin Durant. Look at what you gave up. 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.080 You traded Michel Bridge. You can't jail and draft picks. 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.840 You give up draft picks to get Bradley Beal. So okay, 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.480 you got three guys that can score. But they're gonna 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.800 be stepping over Kevin Durant. Not but kind of Bradley 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.040 bial and and and and and uh book they kind 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.560 of stepping over each other doing the same thing. And 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:57.240 you ain't got no doubt, You ain't got no big nurkis. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:00.520 Less be meant? 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:04.160 Well, yeah, I think I think it might be a 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.760 chess feech too, right, it might be a chess feech too. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:08.880 You look at these moves. 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.800 That guy's giving up picks, like you get these big 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.160 name guys, and now you might you can get picks 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.320 back and not it picks back. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.160 You can get younger talent and assets for him too. 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:22.040 Right, Like, we don't know what does Kevin Kevin Durant. 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.720 We don't know what kind of hall of it. He's 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.319 thirty seven with an injury history, be ball what you think, 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.079 and you know he wanted to leave, so now you 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.280 can ask for more. You could definitely ask me because 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:34.240 I know he wants to leave. 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.800 If I know he wants to leave, okay, Okay, I 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.600 can ask for a whole bunch of more, Okay. 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.480 But I ain't gonna give it to you because he's 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.400 thirty seven and he has an injury history. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:44.800 Is he a phenomenal talent. 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.920 Absolutely, there's a reason why he was on the seventy 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.360 fifth anniversary team. He's one of the great players in 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.760 NBA history. But we can't ignore the fact, Pat Bell, 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.760 he's thirty seven with an injury history. But you told 0:11:58.840 --> 0:11:59.800 us at the beginning of the show. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.240 You just said, if this player is coming to if this, 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.120 if this player is coming to your team, is he 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.840 feeling is this James Jackson Philling Love noes. 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.200 We said, no, Kevin Durant, come to your team? He is? 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.959 Is he in the lineup that night? Because he might 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.400 be hurt? Who that? Yeah, yea, yeah. 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.800 I think if you got him on a more than days, 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.400 then he gonna feel that because we know every order 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.240 that she's been in he's especially Brooklyn. 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:26.240 He came to Brooklyn. 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.599 He missed the whole year and have and missed that 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.880 bubble year and half the year, didn't play the following, 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:32.520 So we get that Phoenix. 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.679 He got to Phoenix and got hurt immediately. He got 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:35.560 nick last year. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.920 Hey look, oh, I feel like I feel like he 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:41.440 getting he deal with them injuries, man, because of the 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.720 workload that he got to carry. I think he got 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.560 to carry too much of a workload, like you said, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.640 when he was with When he was with Golden State, 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.560 all he had to do was just who you know, 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.360 he didn't have to do a whole lot of dirty work, 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:52.080 you know what I mean. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:53.720 He could get to Brooklyn. 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.880 They expect a lot out of him, absolutely defensively and offensively, 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.000 and I think that puts him in a comparable site 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.640 situation to where he's having to deal with injuries. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.080 I didn't think they needed James Harden. I didn't need 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:06.480 them man. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.320 As great as the talent James is, uh, it's just 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.600 like it's kind of like the situation in Phoenix. 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.560 It's like you got over Kidd. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:19.160 You got three Bona FID players, right, and you know 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.600 what James can do. You know, he can go get 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.280 you thirty and twelve on the any given night. But 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.920 it's like you got too much offensive power and it 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.320 just it didn't it didn't add up. It didn't add up, 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.720 It didn't add up to wins. And when you get 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.559 guess what you did, man, Guess what your depth? Because 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:37.439 when you trade for James, because think about it, you 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.680 got Kyrie and KD for nothing. They were free agents. 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.000 They came and you didn't have to give up no compensation. 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.360 You didn't have to give up no drift capital. You'd 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.080 have to give up no players. Now you get James, 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.520 you got to give up drift capital and you got 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:50.760 to give up players to get it. 0:13:52.280 --> 0:14:03.120 Yeah, I ain't when we played against that books, that's team, 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:04.480 they were so talented, I ain't. 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.800 And I mean that's the year James, Sorry, I heard too. 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.559 So we really didn't really get to see the full potential, 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.240 how that team looked all together. You know, we might 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.200 have seen you know, them together for a little bit 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.240 of period of time. I think Kay got hurt that year. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.559 I think James. Yeah, we really didn't really get to 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.960 see the best, the best, the best form of up. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.400 But when I when we played them, and I think 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.800 I was with the Clippers and we played them, it 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.680 was nothing that we could do, like it was, it 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.400 was so much going on like it was. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.120 It was it was matchup problems over here, match up 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.760 problems on post match up problems and pick and roll like. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.040 It was so many match up problems that it wasn't 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:45.680 a lot that we could do. They just wasn't healthy. Man, 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.920 I mean, what what look you guys followed me and 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:54.359 being I followed? Was it always like this? Like the transcendent? 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.920 Historically great players end up moving like this. Now think 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:03.320 about the KD, the Okay, Golden State, Brooklyn Phoenix. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.600 Now he about to be on his fifteen. 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.200 And two of the teams he's been traded three of 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.880 So you got traded for money, one to Phoenix and 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.120 now he's about to be traded for Phoenix to h 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.920 to wherever he goes. I think that the sense of 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.600 like the money is obviously got. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:26.360 I blame the ring culture. I'mbelievable. No, it's the money, right, 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:27.240 it's the money. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.120 And then it's guys like you're gonna see a lot 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.280 of guys back then using their voice. 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:33.120 They couldn't. 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.840 They didn't have the department like they got up bail 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.400 right now, So like now you can go and be like, nah, man, 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.320 he getting that I want this and if I can't 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.880 get this I'm gonna go to another teament get it right. 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.160 And you got guys that got relationships like, hey, bro, 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:48.040 what's he doing in something? 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:49.400 All right? Cool? We could do this. 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.480 We do do so like you got guys that's working 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.960 behind the scenes. It's like, okay, cool, they go maximize. 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.680 And what they should right and what they should so like, 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.200 it's just different now, it's different times, right. I think 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.200 it's more of a flex right, right. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.560 You see you see a guy player on one team 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.280 this whole career, a guy like Steph Curry, right, guy 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:12.240 like Drake Moond. It's you know, moving teams. Guys feel like, okay, 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.360 I can want a championship over there. Change the coach 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:16.320 over there. I can want a champions over there. It's 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:17.560 more of a flex a little bit. 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:18.280 I agree. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.040 Hey, Then when you look at Durant man, he's such 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.240 a polarizing you know clayer meaning he's. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.400 Always gonna have value, you know what I mean. 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.920 So it don't it don't matter where he's at, somebody's 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.200 gonna always want him on his team because his skill 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:37.280 set is uh, second to none. You know, a team 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.240 can always use it. You look and for me, you 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.080 look at it. Who could use twenty six to night. 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.880 But look you look at it. You look at Houston, 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.760 P Bell, who are the number two seed in this 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.760 year's playoffs, and they were a young team. They struggle scoring, 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:56.480 the scoring the basketball especially. Yeah, you get Kevin Durant, 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.240 you know you you don't have them problems, you know 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.920 what I mean? So, yeah, I know, I'm sure they 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.119 gonna get him traded. I just hope he goes to 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.840 a situation to where you know, it is comfortable for 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.720 him and he's able to just hoop, play his game 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.720 and be the easy money sniper that we know he is. 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:19.439 And it is Houston. I think he's Kevin Durant. The 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.200 days are just hooping it over. He got that when 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.320 he first when he first got to UH, when he 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.600 was in Seattle for that one year, and when he 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.480 went to End and when he went they went to Okay. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.720 See when he go to Golden State, ain't no more 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.040 just hooping because the expectation of championship. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.480 Ain'tybody that trade for Kevin Red right now? 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.159 P BAF and Joe you know this. They expect championship 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.000 because the won, that's closing the fair of whatever ass 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.800 you want to want to use. He's a seven foot 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.200 scoring machine. He's a fishing out of the Yin Yang. 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.560 I mean he shot, I mean he had an off 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:54.639 year shooting from the free throw line cups. He shot 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.600 like eighty four eighty five percent, which is crazy. He's 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.280 normally eighty nine ninety. But he gave it twenty six, 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.919 five and six. And so he goes to Houston. You 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:06.520 know what that means. They had the number two seed. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.240 They expect to go further. If he goes to Miami. 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.280 You know what the expectations here when you go to 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:15.680 Raleigh led organization. So there's no place he can go 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.639 that he's gonna be able to rest comfortably because the 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:19.920 expectations are gonna follow. 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.480 Kevin Durant I think, I think, I think he can 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.320 go to I ain't gonna You talk about one in 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.600 a million or billion chances of like. 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.720
